Coulda had a dog in the name of Sassafrass
Black dog, when it came, it came so fast
Came into my room like a locomotive
Up into my bed like, "this is a hold up"
Out across the valley she chased a bone
Left me chewin' on a microphone
Askin' things that I always will
She left me cryin' on top of the hill, cryin'...

What am I to do now that baby's gone
'Cept to howl at the moon like a wounded dog
Singin whoa-oa-oa-oa, whoa-oa-oa-oa
Sad song now that baby's gone
I been cryin' on the hill till the break of dawn
Singin whoa-oa-oa-oa, whoa-oa-oa-oa

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
If you don't use my love, it'll turn to rust
Turn a magic wand into an allen wrench
You have a home run hitter sittin' on the bench
One day your time's gonna be spent
Find you're lookin' back at the things you did
"Yeah what a fine man, why'd I let him pass?"
But at that time baby you can kiss my sassafrass

What do now that baby's gone
Howl at the moon like a wounded dog
Singin' whoa-oa-oa-oa, whoa-oa-oa-oa
Sad song now that baby's gone
You been cryin' on the hill till the break of dawn
Singin' whoa-oa-oa-oa, whoa-oa-oa-oa
